Khaled’s Wake-Up Call: The Tartar He Never Knew Existed

At 37, Khaled believed he had good oral hygiene:
✓ Brushed twice daily
✓ Used mouthwash
✓ Chewed sugar-free gum

But when he saw his intraoral camera footage magnified on screen, revealing hidden buildup beneath his gums, he realized brushing isn’t always enough.

"Seeing inside my own mouth was shocking. Hardened tartar had accumulated under my gums—yet I felt no pain, just occasional bad breath," he shared after his first professional scaling at our Djerba clinic.

What Brushing Can’t Fix

Tartar is hardened bacterial plaque that adheres to teeth and gums. Over time, it becomes a reservoir for inflammation, increasing risks of:

  • Cavities

  • Bleeding gums

  • Gum recession

No toothbrush can remove subgingival tartar—only professional intervention can.

Precision Cleaning with Technology

During Khaled’s visit, we used:
🔍 Intraoral cameras to show hidden deposits
💡 Ultrasonic scalers to gently remove tartar without enamel damage
✨ Air-polishing to smooth tooth surfaces
🧼 Targeted disinfection for deep pockets

"Zero pain. Quick, precise, and educational," Khaled noted.

How Often Should You Scale?

Patient Profile Recommended Frequency
Healthy gums Every 6–12 months
Higher-risk* (smokers, diabetics, implants) Every 3–6 months
